Karla's Toe Story

Karla, who moved from Austin in Texas to Oslo in Norway, tells her travel stories on this blog. She fell over as she took this photo in front of the temples - from Tales of a Texpatriate:

That's my foot in front of an ancient temple in Malta. I took the picture because I thought the stones reminded me of my toes. A momentary photographic foot fetish on my part, I guess. I also found out it's really hard to take a picture of your own foot while you are standing. Try it yourself sometime....I ended up falling over just after the camera clicked.

I just like this picture. That's why I'm posting it. It makes me giggle. Mostly because I remember the other tourists thereabouts looking at me really strangely while I took it. Of course, over the course of my life, I have gotten fairly used to the strange looks I get when I do my goofy things, so that was no worse than usual. Though falling over did not help as I had meant to just take the photo and sneak off.

Ah, well. Here's a link with more info about the Maltese temples. (Recognize the stones in the picture?) Malta is one helluva fascinating place. I really want to go back.
